Some men ask Aquaman and Aqualad to help them find Professor Peters who has disappeared looking for treasure. Aquaman leads the men through the perilous journey nearly getting crushed by an underwater rock slide (Aquaman calls forth whales to block the boulders) and a huge underwater whirlpool (Aquaman gets a giant squid to pull him and the others to safety). Once they find Peters, the men reveal they are crooks who want Peters' treasure, but Aquaman and a pair of octopuses stop the villains.
